I have been reflecting a lot lately, about my life, about my business, about things in general...so much so that I have been working all day on a post about those things and about the 'big news' I mentioned last week. I've had to take a few cry breaks along the way and because of that I have not finished writing that post. Almost done though. So, in the meantime, I have decided to revisit my early blogging days and share this table again. I know, I know, this is two weeks in a row that I've posted an old tablescape. I'm sorry. Hit me...hahaha you can't reach! This table is so old though that I bet most of you don't even remember seeing it and if you're fairly new here then you probably never saw it at all.I hope you like it.

The pattern is Harvest Time; a pretty, fruit themed brown transferware pattern with a mix of apple green and burgundy/red hand painted touches. It's by Johnson Brothers and I've got a lot of it in my shop (see sources at the end of the post).

Assuming I can find the intrepidity to hit the publish button, I will be here tomorrow with the post I'm working on now including some things about me and my past that you don't know.

Have a wonderful night and celebrate beautiful Fall! Hooray! It is finally here!

Centerpiece - I created this with a garland and wound it around clear glass (dollar store) candleholders and added various sized apples throughout
Placemats, Napkins and Napkin Rings - can't remember where I got these!
Topiary's made with matching china are available HERE or contact me for custom order
Bubble Tumblers - Walmart---2 or 3 years ago
Transferware...you know where! Harvest Plates, Cups & Saucers, Platters, Soup Bowls and more are availalbe in my Etsy shop or click HERE: (I have cups/saucers, square plates, dinner plates, etc)
Apple tureens: Bought from a catalog...think it was called Collections.

Thanks so much for coming by! I'm glad you like what I did for my tablescape. I love this pattern that you show, and have two dinner plates for sale in my booth that I'm going to have to go snatch back! Oh what was I thinking? I just saw your table from last week, and it's fabulous! Thank goodness for highlights. I just don't have the time I once had for visits. Best to you with your changes! Hugs

Cleo, It's not bad news, very exciting in fact...will post more today! It's just that certain things made me think back to some really hard times...will share today. Thanks for all your warm wishes, ~ N

This is such a beautiful setting, Nancy! What a lovely Johnson Brothers pattern and so perfect for Autumn. And there are those topiary I love!!! Sending best wishes as you struggle with whatever is going on in your life.

Hi, Nancy! I'm sorry you're feeling blue or frustrated. I really do hope whatever you are experiencing that is causing you anguish passes soon. Crying is a good thing because it helps to purge, but I would prefer those be happy tears for you. I didn't see this tablescape before, so it's totally new to me. I love the apple green!!! I know a lot of people would have wanted to stick with darker greens for fall, but I love it when an eye-popping color is intertwined. It helps to better showcase the deeper colors and gives the table a lot of character. Very pretty! Please take care of yourself, and I hope the weekend brings all good things for you.

Love, love it, it's gorgeous!! Your table is wonderful, so happy, warm and inviting! Love the dishes and the apple tureen, pretty Nancy! Yes, we always go through this kind of thinking at your age, where you have teen children and you start to reflect about your life and the meaning of it for you, as a person, since up to now you've been mostly a giver to the home and family. Wait a while, they'll be graduating, getting married and your life will just take the right path..you'll see. Please take care sweetie and don't take quick desitions about nothing. God bless you!FABBY

Nancy, I was drawn to your post by the Johnson Bros china which I love, but then I saw the centerpiece you created! Amazing. It looks so lush and beautiful and perfect with the dishes. Very creative without spending a lot of money. Dianne

I absolutely love what I do, selling English Transferware and authoring the blog Nancy's Daily Dish where I write educational posts on the subject, create tablescapes with different transfer ware patterns sharing the histories behind them, and share my love of design, cooking, poetry and appreciation of beautiful things.

After 28 years of marriage I am still crazy in love with my husband and the six children we have. I think of them and I smile.

I am so glad you took time to stop by my site. I hope you'll stop by my blog as well and say hello.
